We are aware of an incident last night on campus where racist, anonymous comments were submitted at a public panel discussion about race and immigration.
We reaffirm BYU’s stance of condemning racism in any form. We are committed to promoting a culture of safety, kindness, respect and love. We stand with our sponsoring institution, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has stated:
Faculty advisors over last night’s panel are creating a report of the incident that will be shared and discussed with university administrators.
We are unable to determine the identities of the commenters, and if they are BYU students or not, but regardless, these are important issues for us to continue to address as a campus.
If you witness or experience an incident on campus associated with racism or white supremacy, reports can be made to the Dean of Students Office at (801) 422-2731. In situations where safety is at risk, please contact University Police immediately at (801) 422-2222.
